joomla

Hi,
I have a problem with Joomla.
I wrote a component, which modifies $_SESSION.
But $_SESSION is empty.

E.g. virtuemart uses $_SESSION to store its cart.
But i cannot access this cart from my component.

Can anyone help me ?

Regards
Thorsten

I'd suggest you check the Joomla support forums. They know more about
how their product works than anyone else.

Two things:

1) Does the page on which your 'component' is on call "session_start();" at
the beginning to get access to the $_SESSION variables?

2) Is the 'virtuemart' site on a different domain than your 'component'?
If so, I don't think you can access those $_SESSION variables
